Dog thread!🐾

I've fallen in love with this breed:

https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/lancashire-heeler/

Currently they're a rather rare breed, and as others try to build up the gene pool so this old breed doesn't disappear they often have puppies that don't quite make the grade. Those are sold as pets and neutered, that's what I'd like to get.

It's not going to happen just yet, but I can dream.

It's a nice breed. Do you know how they work the stock?

I am tired of hearing is she a labradoodle or look its a labradoodle when I am out with Fanta

It's become super annoying

Nipping at heels, I believe, hence "heeler".

Yes, that's obvious. But all heelers work a little differently, that's why corgis are short, so they could avoid cow kicks

I love corgis, too. When I was about 10 I was invited to spend occasional weekends with my grandmother's friend, who was childless yet enjoyed my company. She had a mixed breed setter/retriever type of mix, Bunny, and a Welsh corgi, Sam. I adored both dogs (I'd never had one) but especially Sam, he was a hoot.

Corgis are nice too, too active for me as well. But do you know how Lancasher Heelers work their stock?

My dog died recently but he was a good boy so worth mentioning
His name was Silas

Nope. Wasn't planning on using it for working stock.
